Message:: [QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 8300722, member: 4920"]Exactly, [USER=133572]@Gorham_Collector[/USER], and thanks. It's hub-to-die, instead of die-to-planchet. Hub-to-die remains on the die, right? Thus, it's imparted to every planchet struck by that die? Thus, in that sense, it's die doubling, as it's coming from the die, and, it's collectible, as it repeats on every planchet so struck by that die. It was imparted to the die in the same way as strike doubling is imparted to the planchets, though, by a hop, skip, twist, turn, slide, smear, pick an adjective, but you get it. And because it's not due to two hubbings, one can lose that criteria, namely, again, "notching" and "split serifs," in trying to describe these single-hubbed doublings. The criteria we're looking for there are the same as the criteria in strike doubling. The way the hub sinks into the die is a tad tricky in these single-hubbings, but there's the scene of the die doubling, basically, that movement that may occur, there. Wexler describes the process pretty good. I don't purport to understand every aspect, but enough of it, anyway, to know what's going on in these, I'm reasonably sure.[/QUOTE]
